Finding Your Room

The front desk clerk tells you how to get to your hotel room.

Hi, I just checked in. How do I get to my room?
"Habitación" is the standard word for a hotel room. You may also hear "cuarto."
Clerk
Su habitación está en el tercer piso. Tome el elevador al final del pasillo.

Your room is on the third floor. Take the elevator at the end of the hallway.
"Elevador" is used in Mexico and Central America. In South America you'll often hear "ascensor."

And after the elevator?
Clerk
Salga del elevador y camine a mano izquierda. Su habitación es la trescientos cinco.

Get out of the elevator and walk to the left. Your room is 305.
"A mano izquierda" literally means "to the left hand." You'll also hear "a la izquierda."
